Did Brave Firefighters Die Because Of Rudy Giuliani's Malfeasance?
Edited on Sat Oct-06-07 10:29 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
The main principle of judo is to use your opponent's strength against him... That's what the Rethuglicans did to John Kerry in the 04 election when they nefariously, malignantly, fallaciously and perniciously cast doubt on his status as a "war hero"...

Well, the chickens are coming home to roost... Rudy likes to portray himself as a "9-11" hero when the truth is , shall we say, much more "complex"... It seems a lot of firefighters that day died because they didn't have the proper equipment and the mistakes Rudy made:

Take away 9-11 and all Rudy has left is the fact that he presided over an administration where a bunch of rogue cops stuck a plunger up a black man's ass and then claimed his injuries were cased by anal sex when their crimes were discovered and another group of rogue cops put put forty one shots in another black man who was going for his wallet...

1. People Would Rather Attack Other Dems Than Pugs So I Will Respond To My Own Post
Without 9-11 Rudy is finished... Rudy without 9-11 is like Nolan Ryan without his heater...

7. Not this DUer
I'm proud to say that I haven't said one derogatory thing about any Democratic candidate. I'm not saying that could change if something unforgivable comes to pass, but for the time being I'm refraining from attacks on any of them.

As far as getting out the word on Republicks goes, it's always open season in my book. Right now, there's not one of them more deserving of being put under the microscope than Rudy 9/11-iani, who is - from all appearances - their heir apparent. All Ghouliani has going for him is that 'bullhorn moment' at the WTC wreckage, and it's also his weakest point. Without 9/11, he's nothing. I support all efforts to get out the truth surrounding Rooty Toot's failures regarding 9/11. It's certainly more worthwhile than engaging in recreational backbiting with fellow Democrats.

Even though I encountered this site courtesy of another DUer, I'm going to provide a link once more in the hope that it gets e-mailed and discussed far & wide. For the moment, it's my best contribution to debunking a thoroughly unwarranted heroic status that's been bestowed upon this inept, mobbed-up former NYC mayor.

I especially recommend The Real Rudy: Command Center

IMO getting out the word on this dickheimer (along with every other shitweasel from his party who's running) is far more important than taking potshots at Democrats currently running for President. It's as though some want to do the Repukes' job for them.

2. Yes. It is very telling that NYers hate Ghouliani. It only those who have no first hand experience
with him that admire him. This morning on the radio, I heard some nitwit from New Hampshire saying that she hoped he could straighten out the country like he straightened out NYC.. :puke:
Ignorance is not bliss. It is just Dangerous Ignorance!!!

3. Brave cops died, too.
Nice of you to distinguish between firefighters and cops like that. Praise the firefighters. Spit on the cops.

In the same post.

343 NYFD firefighters and paramedics
23 NYPD police officers
37 Port Authority police officers

More have died since, from diseases related to weeks and months digging on the pile without protective gear.

I guess not only Giuliani uses 9/11 as a political football.

6. Calm Down Pepper...
I was only focusing on firefighters because their union has done the most to bring Rudy's malfeasance to light...Anybody that died because of his malfeasance is another reason to oppose him...

9. Rudy's got a lot of blood on his hands.
He and many others danced with the devil on 911 and think they made their nut on the perfect crime. Not so. Many have already figured out the truth of what happened on 911 and it's becoming obvious to more every day.
